Savory Pastries with Herbs (Otlu Kuru Pasta)

100 gr (6-7 tbsp) margarine/butter, melted
1/3 cup yogurt
1/3 cup canola oil
2 eggs (one of the yolk is for egg wash)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder/1 package baking powder
1 tsp salt to taste
4-5 cups flour
2 pairs of green onions, chopped finely
1/3 bunch parsley, chopped finely
1/3 bunch dill, chopped finely

Leave one of the egg yolk for the glaze. Then combine all the ingredients, but the flour and the greens in a big bowl. Then add the flour slowly and knead till a soft and elastic dough is obtained (for about 8-10 minutes). Cover it with a clean cloth and leave for 15 minutes.
Add the greens and knead again till they are even. Place a baking paper over or grease the baking tray. Then grab walnut size dough pieces and give them any kind of shape you like. You can also flatten the dough with a roller and use cookie molds or just cut with a knife.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180 C) and beat the egg yolk for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the cookies with egg wash and bake for about 18-20 minutes, till they turn light golden brown.
Savory Pastries with Herbs are good to go with tea, coffee and at breakfast and brunch.
ENJOY

I can't wait to try making these! I really love your site. I am Australian, currently married to a Turkish man and living in Istanbul. (We have been married for 18 months). Usually what happens is, my mother-in-law shows me how to make something, I immediately forget, but come to your site and follow your recipe! I really appreciate you posting in both Turkish and English.
